So ever since Mimics were added into the game, the 'wooden chest' variant would occasionally spawn at 'surface' level if there were natural dirt walls for them to spawn in front of.
Since 1.4 I've yet to see it happen even once -- both on new 1.4 worlds (master mode) and older worlds (expert mode) that had farm areas where they'd spawn no problem.
As I never saw any mention in the patch notes about their spawn requirements being changed, I can only assume it's a bug, potentially related to the fact gnomes spawn under the same requirements.
Additional Info:
- Tested in both Forest and Jungle biomes (Even though the biome never mattered prior, other than jungle increasing spawnrates)
- Tested on Dirt/Grass blocks (Even though the spawn block never mattered prior, only the walls)
- Tested with Water Candle / Battle Potion, day and night, which would easily see 10+ mimics in a 10 minute timeframe on older versions.
- Both test locations are within the central map area
- Don't have a Journey mode world in hardmode, so can't test with 10x spawns there.
- One tested near living trees, the other nowhere near
